                          avoid pangolier? LUL he is very strong offlaner... and lone druid is a fine pick... and so is morphling. honestly 50% of this tier lists are bullshit

                            Can you guys please acknowledge Arc Warden? He was repick two tier lists ago, then jumped to solid, then bank to repick. You never said anything about why and it's kind of unfair to be honest.

                            sngmtokos

                              arc warden isnt that bad too be honest and nullifier is interesting on him plus necro 3 being a nice purge at the moment seems quite sweet.

                                    Puck has 100% pick/ban in high mmr. Also pangolier morph and brood are super op.
                                    You cant make Tierlist just over winrate.

                                        Why is IO not in the mentioned hero in the commented section, the hero is so strong specially in late game given a great position and a very reliant aggressive dual laner with that could hinder or even jeopardize enemy at Mid in special

                                          Thank you, Dotabuff, for this excellent content. I'm surprised I don't see it talked about very often at all on Reddit or by the Analysts at events, etc. Seems odd. These articles are clear and concise and enjoyable to read.

                                            pretty much i can win 5k games with NP. i Had 8 straight wins as NP in my calibration games, idk why its 44% only, but in the right player, NP stomps early game, rekt other lanes with his global presence and secure long game with his farming capability and push power.

                                                          These rankings are based on overall winrates, if he is achieving a 44-47% WR then for most people he should be avoided. It's not that he can't win, it's that most of the time he doesn't.

                                                            I miss when he had that sweet 60% winrate; then people tried to make him an offlaner and look where he is now.

                                                                      Blanc

                                                                          Think a little analytically about this. The strong heroes are the ones top MMR players are going to spam the most.
                                                                          That means Pudge, Storm Spirit, Shadow Fiend, Queen of Pain, Tinker, Sand King, Tiny. Those are the top tier heroes ATM. NOT fucking Centaur Warrunner.

                                                                          jingu bells

These are the heroes that do well in your average pub game against similarly average players. Doesn't mean they are necessarily the strongest heroes in all brackets though.

                                                                            Arc

I even once rekt sf in mid and reach lvl 25 before even 27 minutes. She fear no hero. BUT THAT M************ SPIRIT VESSEL REKT ANYBODY. REDUCING REGEN AND DAMAGE BASED ON PERCENTAGE?

                                                                                lone dog

But its not like avg pub player can play and micro the hero properly. Truth be told, the hero needs a nerf on his aghanim's buff.

                                                                                          Medusa mid is certainly the most possible safe pick in any bracket, even if you are having a bad game the hero will tank like hell past lvl 20 anyway and still be relevant.....if you have a good game you will own pretty much any lineup.

                                                                                          Morphling has a trash ultimate (situational, most pro players don't level the ulti until they are forced to, it can produce some awesome "youtube plays" but its very very situational overall), making him quite balanced (because he is quite op for his other spells and talents), he has trash winrate overall and just a "solid" one in (52%) in 5k+, and Elder Titan is also really strong in themeta and is still morph's natural counter.

                                                                                          But pls buff slark, his value has carry is so poor I guess puck gets a low winrate because he is played in lower mmr brackets........because the hero is ridiculously OP, relevant at any part of the game, imba talents, so hard to kill and high dmg output......but requiers good talent with fingers

                                                                                          This comment was edited

Zeus is the only midlaner besides maybe brewmaster thats above "solid" and the only reason that is is because he has spells that deal 98765 damage whenever he presses a button
